.DISCUSSION...
Expect clearing skies and warmer weather nosing into western CO,
in the wake of yesterday`s system. Winds will shift from the
north today, to more westerly flow overhead as we round out the
work week. Due to the warm air ushering in overhead by Friday, a
strong inversion is forecast right off the deck. Today will allow
for Fair smoke dispersal, but the strength of said inversion by
Friday is progged to cap much of the region under poor conditions
all day. More active weather moves in Friday night and into the
weekend, which will produce stronger winds and increased RH levels
over the burn pile site.
